What did the BTK killer from the upcoming documentary, My Father, the BTK Killer do?
From 1974 to 1991, Rader murdered ten people in Wichita, Kansas, using the self-fashioned name BTK for "Bind, Torture, Kill." For decades, Kerri thought she grew up in a normal family, unaware of the fact that the man she referred to as her father was committing some of the worst murders in state history.
This documentary will take you on a journey with Kerri as she awakens to painful questions about her past, deals with uncovered childhood injuries, and wonders if there are more victims than what is officially confirmed. Through her voice, viewers will witness how Dennis Rader’s double life shattered not just the lives of his victims but also the trust of those closest to him.
By day, he was living as a respected president of his church congregation and a Cub Scout leader. But in secret, he was a murderer who taunted police and the media with cryptic letters describing his crimes.
When the letters stopped in the early 1990s, the trail went cold. Authorities had no new leads for over ten years. But in 2004, Rader's desire for fame thrust him into the public eye by mailing a floppy disk to a local news station.
The serial killer did not realize that the disk could be traced. Investigators were able to identify the disk and trace it back to Rader's church computer, ultimately leading to his arrest in February 2005. Rader was convicted of ten murders, effectively ending one of the longest and most chilling manhunts in the history of the U.S.
What to expect from My Father, the BTK Killer?
My Father, the BTK Killer will focus on Kerri’s reflections with chilling evidence and investigative insights. Viewers can anticipate footage from detectives who worked on the case and helped dig out the truth. The trailer has also shown archival pictures of Kerri and her father, when she didn't know that Rader was a serial killer.
Don't miss out on streaming My Father, the BTK Killer only on Netflix.
